While I wait for my clothes to dry...

I'm about to pass out, yet I spent too much time on the phone tonight so I didn't notice that I could've put my clothes in the dryer sooner than I did. I don't really want to leave my stuff in the dryer here like I would at home...I guess I'll update a little before I completely pass out.

• My "poker" kid, has now become my most favoritest kid in class. He's becoming very well behaved in the classroom, and he keeps coming up with some great lines. Today everyone was talking, and they all know that they have to have 40 "balls" in order to have a party Friday afternoon. Anytime he heard someone talk, he would look at me, and then turn around (I put him in front since he was a trouble maker, and he has glasses) and say "Guys, stop hatin'. I wanna have a party on Friday!" Awesome. It took all I had to not either, A) talk back to him (Yeah, why y'all gotta be hatin' on this party?) or B) laugh my fool head off at him! It was an awesome way to spend the day...just thinking about him saying that!
• Secret Santas started up at school yesterday. I have someone whom I've never met whilst teaching there. It was hard getting her things. We had to fill out questionnaires with our favorites on it, but it wasn't very helpful. I did end up getting some fun things. I guess I didn't put much down on my questionnaire, but thus far my Secret Santa has been good to me. Yesterday they got me some slipper socks, and today I got some scrapbooking stuff. Good times had by all. Presents are good.
• Speaking of presents...I feel like a bitch with my class. (This will all come back to presents...just let me give some background) All I seem to be doing is yelling at them, or telling them to be quiet, or that they need to learn how to walk in the hallway...the list can go on and on...Anyhoos...as the kids were lining up to leave today, one of my kids (he's a sweetie, and one of my favorites) asked if he could bring me a present tomorrow. Damn kid, I never pass up presents. I'm thinking that it's going to be a drawing he did, seeing as how I've gotten a drawing from all of the girls now. That's ok though, I don't mind kid's artwork. Plus then I can grade them and send them to friends with the comments I would've loved to put on them.
• I get to go home this weekend for 3 weeks! I'm so excited, even though I'm being dropped off at 6:30 for my 11:59 flight. Oh well, I can re-read "Good in Bed", it's a good book. I'll be working at BN, but not a whole lot. I want to work enough so that I can afford some furniture when I come back here, but I need a break as well. Saturday I get to see the dog and family. I'm not going to be coherent really...but I get to see them. Sunday, can't wait for Sunday. Dan sent out an email to us about getting together for a pot luck dinner at his apartment for this Sunday. My email back: "This Sunday? Like the Sunday I'll be home Sunday?!" I was a little excited. I get to see everyone! Even Adam's coming up for this dinner. That rocks my world! So, I get to see all, well almost all, of my most favoritest people in the world on Sunday! YAY! The week after Christmas I'll be heading up to DePere to see Harr (her new house and wedding pictures too!) and Mary Kay, Niki, Erin, and I'll be spending quality time with Adrienne! It's going to be awesome...even though Big Blue will be my mode of transportation. If that's the case...one ear bud from my mp3 player will be in my ear at all times. I can't handle not having a CD player in a car...and especially not in Big Blue...hell no.
• The last thing...my neck is killing me! I think it's just all of the stress with the apartment, insurance, and all of that jazz. I'm sure once I'm in my own bed on Saturday morning I'll be fine. I'm hoping my Secret Santa will get me a massage (that won't happen), so this kink will go away. It's not too bad...yet. I know it'll be getting worse soon...

ONLY 3 MORE DAYS!!!!

Have a great Wednesday everyone!

(As an aside...just as I was typing the third sentence in here, my clothes got done in the dryer!)
